Well Shaped Women.
New York Mercury

Art should always be based on nature,
and no art is true which does not take
nature for its model. A perfect, SYM
metrIcal, healthy woman of five foot five
inches in height must comply with the
following standard: She should be 13S
pounds at the least, and could stand up
to ten pounds more without injury to
healthy or artistic perfection. The dis
lance between the tips of her two middle
fiogers when the arms are extended
should be exactly the same as the height
or ten times the length of her hand, or
seven and half times the length Of her
foot, or FIVE times the diameter of her
chest from one arm-pit to the other. The
distance from the Junction OF thighs to
the ground should be the same as from
the former point to the top Of the head.
The knee should be exactly midway from
the junction of the thighs to the bottom
of the heel.
The distance from the elbow to the tip
of the middle finger should be the same
as from the elbow to the middle line of
the chest. From the top of the head to
the chin, with the head posed naturally,
should be the same as from the level of
the chin to the arm pits, or from the heel
to the tip of the large toe. The bust of q
woman of the height named should be
forty three inches measurement over the
arms and the waist twenty-four.
The upper part of the arm should be
from thirteen and half to fourteen
inches and the wrist six inches. The an
kle should be six inches, the calf of the
leg fourteen and the thigh twenty-five.
Any woman of the height mentioned who
has these measurements can congratulate
herself on having as perfect form as the
Creator ever made. or course, the pro-
portions vary with the height.

HS Thinks His Customer Is Timid, But

New York Evening sun.
At 1851 o'clock last night timid man
with stiff, wiry beard entered an up.
town barber shop. all the chairs were
empty, and seven artists sat nervously
cycling the clock. Eight O'Clock was clos
ing time, and each man was anxious to
leave. The BARRIERS glared at the new
conner, but slowly walked to their chairs

hu1g up his hat, WsIked toward the near
est seat and sank into it with g deep
drawn sigh. The barber-a short, dark
yisaged little man with black mustache
and chin whiskers-uttered an omtnous
grun:, gave Siger-hke glare st his vic
tim, punched q towel under his collar
and used lather brush. Then he grab

He twisted the mans face to one side, and
with straight arm movement drew the
rAz2r over his face With cry of pain
the man squirmed into sitting posture,
but the barber pushed him down and re-
peated his action. 1t brought tears to
the eyes of his prey. Gasping for breath,
the timid man ventured to mildly expos
tulate.
"Pm In no hurry" he said. 'I don't
want to catch G train"
san right blurted the barber with 8
grin as he proceeded.
In five minutes the torture was over.
''Cjose shave, sir?" snarled the artist,
who expected negative reply.

minedly. &C can and close, too"
He was bent upon having revenge.
The distress owe, the timid man, with
keen sense of humor, demanded hair
cut, and the barber's comp.I ioI giggled.
Fifteen minutes elapsed before the job
wss completed, and the artist was almost
foaming at the mouth with rage. All his
mates had gone home thoroughly enjoy
ing his misery.
sis taat all, sir?" inquired the barber,
in tones of whitening irony, clutching the
bottle of hair tonic.
'tNo-o-o," dr&wled the timid man,
smiling as be noticed the artists agony.
"Give me q shampoo"
An expression of spa acdless rage disfg-
ured the BARRIERS features. He wanted to
refuse, but he didn't dare, for the prOpri-
etoT was sitting on the opposite side OF
the room. So the timid man was sham
pooed, but it was in very profunctory
way, aud his hsir was almost removed
from his scalp. He stood 1t all without a
grimace, paid the charges, slipped cent
INTO the barber's hand and with cherry
good night glided through the door.
The barber didn't reply.

Ingenious Lady.
st. Nicholas.
There was q church festival in honsou-
vale, and this is the way in which Miss
Belle Abbott introduced q new feature
into the we'll worn list Of such entertain
ments. A placsrd was prominently dis
played at the festival reading: "Some-
thing New. Don't Fail TO See It." Ali
were kept in mystery until the appointed
time, when the manager, stepping before
the curtain, spoke of the statue Of Mem
non in Egypt, which was accustomed to
greet the rising sun wi q song. "More
ObligiDg than Memnon," he said,
"certein ststely American sunfioWers
have been found ready and willing to sing
Whenever csIed upon Ladies and gen
tIemen," he sdded, 81 have been fortu-
nate enough to secure for our festival s
cluster of these remarkable additions to
our native fora, and have the honor of
presenting to you our Snnfower Chorus. :"
The slowly dra Tn curtain revealed up
on 8 dark background thirteen large yell
low sunhowers, with leaves and stocks
complete, in the center of each human
face. Music came from the piano near the
stage, and to its accompaniment the
cluster OF human sunfOwers sang numer-
GUS selections from familiar operas,
popular songs and melodies and college
glees. Lhe "SuDfower Chorus" was
voted great success, and those not in the
secret begged Miss Abbott to tell them
how it was done. And this WAS her ex-
plantation: One foot behind the stage
curtain hang another curtain of dark
brown cambria, ten feet square; attach
this by rings to wire stretched nine feet
from the floor; tie cords to the first and
last riDgs, and drawing the curtain tight
ly, fSsten these rings TO the wall on each
side. The top beirg now secured, let the
curtain hang naturally; wrap the surplus
cloth about strip of wood twelve feet
long, two inches wide and one inch thick;
fasten this to the fl )or by two large
screws and the flower screen will be
tightly stretched. Group the singers in e
picturesque cluster behind the screen,
with their faces pressed against the
cloth, and st distances from the floor
srying from one TO eight feet; mark the
position of esCh face, and cut IN the
screen hole into which the face will
closely f.. Going now TO the front of
the screen arrange the flowers and leaves,
which should be fully prepared before
hand. The rays of the sunfoWers may
be cut from yellow paper and the leaves
and stalks from green paper. Paste the
rays around the openings, then arrange
the stalks and leaves in proper position.
When the paste is dry remove the strip
OF wood from the bottom of the screen,
unfasten OF e of the cords st the top and
slide it back until needed for use, when
it may be easily put into position. In
summer the natural stalks and leaves of
the suDfower may he used instead of
those made from psper-TSs Nicholas.

A LESSON UNFRAMED.

Herr MosT, the blatant socialist. seems
to have learned nothing from his well-mer
ited years Imprisonment. He loudly asserts
that he will preach anarchism even more
loudly than before, and that the authorities
shall discover that his year in prison. pro-
ductive in thought, shall be equally pro-
ductive of incendiary utterances. He has
even given an earnest Of his intention in a
few speeches of more blatant character
than ever, and is evidently trying hard to
work himself into fine frenzy.
MosT's mouthings would be harmless
were it not for the fact that there are in
every community hundreds of illy-balanced
people, yearning for a change from the es-
tablished order of things, whatever it may
be. who are only too ready to follow the lead
ership and imbibe the doctrines of the first
demagogic lunatic that comes along. They
have nothing to lose and everything to gain
by any outbreak against society and are usu-
ally more than ready to take the trifling risk
of personal Imprisonment. Thus 1t may be
that the spark which MoST seeks to light
may eliminate in firebrand. He should
be made to understand that the right of free
speech in this country does not carry with
it the right to preach sedltious rant, and if
one years Imprisonment has not been suffi-
cent to teach him the lesson, at the very
first opportunity he should be given a
period for reflection, within prison walls
that will cover the remaining term of his
natural life. The socalistic snake cannot
be reasoned with; it should be trampled
upon rough shod.
